Tiny Town Lyrics by David Byrne

Uh-oh

1992

[Verse 1]
It's a tiny town, you can hang around with me
It's a tiny town, and everybody knows what you've been doin'
So don't you mess around, 'cause it's a tiny town
Teeny weeny town, tiny town, tiny town
And every little town, if you look around
Is a tiny town, tiny town, tiny town

[Pre-Chorus]
Be careful my darling, what you say and do
The shit that you make comes right back to you

[Chorus]
And the whole wide world is a tiny town
Full of tiny ideas
With each tiny heart pumpin up and down
Come be tiny with me

[Verse 2]
Such a tiny town, we have trouble living with each other
Someone knock you down and
Someone else would like to steal your lover
Mmm, it's a tiny town, it's enough to make you lose your mind
Mother nature said, she won't play that way so quit your crying

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama still loves you, when you go astray
You don't need to push her in her grave

[Chorus]
In my tiny mind you are tiny too I'll be tiny tonight
For each tiny me there's a tiny you, close your tiny town eyes

[Bridge]
And the birds sweetly singing in the tiny town trees
And the animals ask what you're doing, well it's as plain as can be

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
I see your sadness, like birds in the air
I see them all flying away

[Chorus]
In each tiny heart in this tiny world is a tiny desire
And each tiny boy and each tiny girl close their tiny town eyes
And the whole wide world is a tiny town, full of tiny ideas
With our tiny hearts pumpin up and down, come be tiny with me
